I'm guessing the bonnet latch failed?

Bad luck there. Hope there's no roof damage

i done this on my old KB laser at 110k's... lucky for me it was a reverse lifting bonnet so it only lifted about 6 inches. but still scary when your vision dissapears.

Yes.. it is a very easy fix.. i dont know if you saw my previous thread but i have already been through two bonnets.. so im pretty experienced in the feild of changing bonnets... not so much windsheilds though... its not that its too hard to fix, its just that i dont really have the money to do it i got quoted $240 for the glass and im guessing the wreckers will want about $50 for the bonnet...

if somebody wants to buy it to fix it themselves or to use it for a motor swap i will also sell a boot full of spare parts with it too come on $400 is very cheap other than the bonnet the body is completely straight
